Fridays

I very much dislike Fridays. I know that is not quite the norm, but that’s how it is. Here are a few reasons I don’t like Fridays:

1) Everybody forgets how to drive on Fridays
2) Everybody remembers its Friday and then they feel they must call me panicked because of something they forgot during the week, even if there is no need to panic yet
3) Everybody decides they can leave work early or during lunch and stop into the resort without an appointment to see the place for a wedding
4) Everybody forgets that this is also Friday so I have a wedding the next day that needs my help
5) Everybody forgets at 4pm or 5pm or 6pm or 7pm when they decide to hold their rehearsal that while they got to leave work early and arrive here 15 to 45 minutes late and stand around to chit chat all before starting that I am just standing there in the ballroom waiting so that I can go home and try and sleep before my 12 to 14 hour day on my feet in heels that will be coming just after the sun rises in the morning.
6) Everybody takes their time getting into work (see #1), chills and relaxes all morning and then at like 3pm tries to cram a whole day of work into a few hours (see #2) and then emails and call me towards the end of the day (see #s 4 and 5) expecting answers ASAP
7) Everybody calls between 3pm and 7pm trying to schedule appointments to see the property on Saturday
8) Its not my Friday, its really my Thursday, and who really likes Thursday anyway!!!!

7 Months Old!!

You hear it all the time, but once again, I am little behind on this post. Logan turned 7 months old 10 days ago, but I did at least take the pictures on time, so thats good, right?

Fun Facts for Logan:

he reaches for every possible thing that he can try to reach
he still hates being on his belly, unless he is asleep on mine
he has no desire to crawl, still
he loves to sit up and stand up (with assistance of course, he is a little wobbly)
he does not at all like green vegetables, especially peas
he loves to laugh, what gets him is making funny faces, making funny noise and raspberries on his belly
he has 6 teeth, thats right, 6 freakin teeth!! (im trying to get a picture, he doesnt like that)
he freaks out when he sees his bottle or when you put a bib on him, so no bibs can be used for drool
he loves the dogs (all 3 of them) and they love him, its super cute
hmm, thats all i can think of now....

New Years Eve

Again, Im a little behind, but really, I shouldnt have to say that, you all should know that about me by now :) So for new years I was actually awake, it was quite exciting! Dad, Ana and Niko came down for a few days so that was great to see them again and for Niko to meet Logan and for Dad and Ana to spend more time with him. He is certainly quite different than he was in June!

On NYE we really didnt do much, we sat around the house and ate shrimp and played games and watched some crazy game show and just chilled, but it was a nice evening either way!

The dogs are not allowed on the couches, and they know it, but I guess Annie realized Niko didnt know that and just took advantage. It was a couple of minutes until I realized it, so she got to lounge for awhile, she is such a funny girl!

I got a bakers torch for christmas, so I decided to make creme brulees for NYE. Let me just say, a freakin vanilla bean (thats right, just 1 bean) is like $12, its highway robbery, but they were good and they were fun to make. This picture is of Lisa bruleeing her creme :)

Just playing around with my new camera, my new torch (from my "secret" santa sara) and my new crate and barrel ramekins that I got with my christmas gift card from dave!

Marcie right after the ball dropped (well, really an hour later since we are in texas). She was really living it up and even drinking some champagne (which she liked). Annie we discovered is more of a beer drinker and Jaska is just like her dad and doesnt drink anything. Maybe we need to give her a mudslide or a girly drink like a blue hawaiian, I bet she would like those :)

Christmas

Im a little behind but here are some pictures of the Christmas weekend!!

These are actually from earlier in the month, I decided to bake cupcakes for the staff at work for helping me with all my holiday parties and for being covered in glitter for a whole month :)

My pretty smores, this year mom got be a babies 1st christmas one!

There were lots of presents under the tree, Logan is not at all spoiled (but on a side note, they were not all for him of course)

Trying to steal some tree cookies on christmas eve, he is a fast one!!!

Lisa & Eric made the cookie tree again, didnt it turn out great!

Marcie really wanted the cookie tree.

We had our 1st annual cookie decorating contest (the votes were submitted via facebook). Me, Mom, Lisa, Sara & Eric all made cookies. Sara and I tied for the win, Eric came in 2nd, due to his party cookie.

The tree all lit up on christmas eve.

Our little santa!!!

Sara only got coal from santa!

Logan in front of his mound o presents!

Showing off his awesome new cowboy boots from auntie lisa and uncle shawn. they are for when he rides his new bullseye. all he needs now is a hat and he will be a texas cowboy!
